CURT: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THE EVOLUTION OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES? MAN AS THE MEASURE OF ALL THINGS TO MAN? OR VITRUVIANISM?”
I’m trying to draw attention to the rather obvious progress of our minds and words as measurements that begin with what’s available to us at birth, and what we evolved over the millennia to COMPENSATE for the lack of precision in the measurements of our birth. 😉
EVOLUTION:
Existential Reality
Nervous System (sensing vibrations – change)
Embodiment (human subjectively testable weights and measures)
Anthropomorphism (applied human weights and measures)
Mythology (Lessons by suggestion)
Religion (Standards of weights and measures)
Dialectic (agreement (not truth))
Laws (Standards of Weights and Measures)
Testimony (Truth (not agreement))
Reason (Adversarialism, Sets)
Philosophy (Plato, Idealism, Analogies, Abstractions)
Natural Philosophy (Observations)
History (Evidence)
Empiricism (measurements)
Science (mathematics)
Evolutionary Computation (computation)
Simulation (Simulation by evolutionary competition)
Existential Reality (identity)
And… We’re done.
